William Cave (30 December 1637 – 4 August 1713)[1] was an English divine and patristic scholar.
- ^ There is some dispute as to what day he died. For example, Chisholm 1911 and Stephen 1887 give 4 July, yet Jackson 1908, Hook 1847 and Cunningham 1837 have 4 August, and McClintock 1868 has 13 August. The conclusive proof is from Owen 1784, 216, who reproduces "an exact copy" of the burial inscription given him by the vicar of the parish, which reads "Aug. iv." (= 4 August).
